DISCUSSION
KEY MESSAGE 1...
A cold front approaching from SE Canada will push southeast across the area during the afternoon to early evening hours. A few light showers may occur in the W. Adirondacks, otherwise the front will pass through dry with just increasing mid level clouds. Ahead of the front, temperatures expected to warm into the mid to upper 60s in valley areas. Winds will shift to the northwest late in the day, with gusts of 15-20 mph developing, with a few gusts to 25 mph. A colder air mass will filter in tonight into Wednesday with below normal temperatures. Another large area of high pressure will build SE from Canada, providing continued dry conditions. The high shifts south/east of our region Wed night into Thu, with a milder S/SW flow developing. This will allow temperatures to warm back to above normal levels. Another moisture-starved cold front is expected to pass through Thu night into Fri, which may bring a few light showers to areas well north/west of Albany. Yet another area of high pressure looks to build in over the upcoming weekend bringing tranquil weather, although temperatures are expected to remain slightly above normal.
AVIATION /06Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/
Through 06z Thursday...VFR conditions are mainly expected to prevail through the 24 hour TAF period. Some fog could develop at KGFL before thicker high level clouds move in, so will mention TEMPO for brief MVFR conditions from 07z-09z, although confidence is low. Fog may develop in vicinity of KALB along the Hudson/Mohawk Rivers, but W/NW flow should keep thicker fog away from the terminal. Similarly, some fog from the Hudson River may drift near KPOU, but confidence is low. Otherwise, just increasing high level clouds will occur into this morning and thicker mid level clouds with a cold front passing through this afternoon through early evening. Cigs should remain at VFR levels. Winds will become southerly this morning around 3-6 kt, then shift to northwest behind the cold front and increase to 5-10 kt this afternoon. Occasional gusts of 15-20 kt are expected at KALB/KPSF.
